Mentiría si dijera que llevaba días leyéndolo. Dos días me ha durado. No estoy segura de que nota ponerle, para mí está entre 3-4, porque me ha gustado bastante, pero a la vez el final me ha parecido escueto y ciertas cosas eran muy evidentes.
Si alguna vez tenéis bloqueos lectores, leed a Hazelwood. Sabe enganchar al lector.

2.5 for me

I usually eat up every Ali Hazelwood book but this one didn’t do it for me.

I just couldn’t get into chess :/

For book club. It definitely felt like a young adult book with the language of the main character. I found her to be really annoying at times, but I guess it was fairly accurate of how an 18 year old would think. It read like a fanfiction, which I'm not necessarily against. I think it's a fun read if you're going into it with the mindset that it's going to be a silly little young adult novel.

Did I waste any thought about chess before this book ? Probably not.
Do I want to learn how to play chess now?
Probably yes.
